What are the Cannabis Laws in Alberta?

Across the province, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission distributes weed similarly to the way it distributes alcohol. 

Together with the province, they developed the “Alberta Cannabis Framework and Legislation.” Its goals are to keep weed out of the hands of minors, protect safety on the roads and workplaces, and limit the illegal cannabis market.

Here are some key Alberta rules and regulations for cannabis. And check out the next section for Fort Macleod-specific rules to know. 

‍

• You need to be 18 years of age or older to purchase and consume weed
• You can only buy cannabis from licensed retailers or legal websites
• 30 grams is the most you can buy or carry at a time
• You can consume it in some public places, but not near schools or hospitals or within five meters of skate parks and playgrounds. 
• It is illegal to drive while high
• Cannabis can’t be within reach of anyone in a vehicle
• People under the age of 18 can't enter cannabis stores, even with an adult
• Only four cannabis plants can be grown per household

Where Can I Consume Cannabis in Fort Macleod?

While the province allows cannabis use in certain public spaces, municipal governments can enforce additional restrictions on where you can use it.

For example, you’re allowed to consume cannabis in your home. However, you can’t consume cannabis in public places in Fort Macleod unless the public place or event holds a permit given out by the Chief Licensing Officer permitting them to light up.

How Many Cannabis Plants Can I Legally Grow in Alberta?

The Province of Alberta allows adults to grow up to four plants per household from seeds bought from licensed cannabis retailers.

However, if you rent, live in a condo, or reside in a multi-family building, you might not be allowed to grow cannabis at home because of rules in your rental agreement or condo bylaws. Double-check your area and building’s rules before you grow any plants.
